Classic Cycles Inc.

I had a chance to stop by Andy & Tony Dunn's shop in Orange, CA tonight. This father and son shop did a bunch of work on my old gold Triumph over the last couple years and it's cool to have seen them grow out of their personal garages and into a totally respectable, real live shop. Andy's got a knack for keeping things clean. He's one of those dicks who can probably work on a bike all day in a white t-shirt. I get dirty just looking at 'em. Him and his dad have turned this one-bay shop into a surgery ward for old iron, especially British, though there might be a Harley or Honda hiding out here and there too. The shop does everything from tune & service work to major rebuilds and customizing. Check 'em out here: Classiccyclesinc.com

Motor rebuilds are probably what the shop is best known for.

Here, you can see why. A sectioned bench keeps rebuilds in progress organized.Note actual work orders on the wall by each one.

Full-on build in progress, using a Flyrite Loner frame that Andy had nothing but good words for.Yep, it even comes with our seat bracket.Anyone got a 45 springer they want to sell?Note BSA pipes and Classic Cycles finned motor mounts.
